The perp couldn't have been more casual about it in that video - sauntering along, then as they were about to pass each other by, turning and pushing whitey at the last moment.
Little Village is about 90% Mexican. I doubt seriously if the victim was white, but was most likely Mexican.
That 13% of the population seems to be 100% of the people pushing others on subway tracks.
Ditto that SeaFood!
These violent people seem to be another roid on the American landscape.
Little Village is where he was arrested, at 2600 S. California, which just happens to be where the Cook County Criminal Court building is located. The crime occurred at the CTA Blue Line Damen Ave station, there are several hospitals, and the University of Illinois Chicago campus right there. Many people employed in medical field, and students from the university use that stop. I’ve passed that stop many times, nothing but students and hospital workers, mixed in with a few “Apple pickers” too.
